if the oring were damaged it woul have very low oil psi, but it would still have pressure. I know that i had a cam bearing come out and it showed no oil psi at idle, but driving around it went up to 20 or so psi.

 

well I put in a new o-ring, oil pump, timing chain, I'm fixing to go put the last bit of stuff on and fire her up. Wish me luck....AGAIN

 

good luck....again

 

Good Luck!!!!

 

good luck! i woulda changed the oil before starting her up. never know what gets knocked into the oil during the install.

 

Good luck. To bad it didnt take just 3 hours like my first experience with cam swapping. LOL, J/K

 

wow, what a hell of a cam change. good luck.

 

Welp, got everything buttoned up, EFI plugged in and still no oil pressure after turning it over for ~30 seconds with the coil packs unplugged and fuel pump relay pulled. We are going to pull a valve cover and see if we are getting oil coming through his pushrods. HIs intake is DIRTY thats why Im afraid of pulling it to swap senders. W e will see

 

I'm actually excited to find out what's up with this. The oil pickup tube on LS motors bolts on right? No possible way to fall off.

I got $5 on sending unit or a pulled wire going to the sending unit.

 

How far down in Austin are you guys?
